I will praise you; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are your works; and that my soul knows right well. Psalm 139:4

Happy Friday everyone!

For the last couple of days we have been discussing the same scripture, as to the expressive declaration: "I am fearfully & wonderfully made", as explained by Thomas Lord.

Let us not forget that we have much to praise God for. He is our Maker, He has blessed us with existence, and it will not be His fault if that blessing be turned into a curse.

He it is that has so long held our souls in life. He has rightly framed us. He has endowed us with reason, He has favored us with health, He has provided for our comfort, and supplied our ever-recurring necessities. We should praise Him for His marvelous wisdom, skill, power, and benevolence in thus building our "house of clay"; and endowing us with such mental powers, and for putting us into such social relations with each other, and in blessing us with such astounding spiritual possibilities for time and eternity; fully meeting and providing for the wants of our fallen spiritual natures as He has done also for the physical. 

We should praise Him for opening up to us through Jesus Christ His Son all the stores of Divine wisdom and knowledge, and giving us through Him free and constant access, "the fulness of the Godhead," "the unsearchable riches," the riches of His grace, the treasures of His love, and the immensity and eternity of His love.

(Thomas Lord.)
